I have a buddy who has an avc-r and he had sold me. His car will hold 24psi to redline with very soft fluctuations. I personally could not afford the avc-r at this time, so I bought a hallman in-cabin mbc at a very good price. A price I could not refuse. My hallman has also soft fluctuations but holds 23psi quite well until redline. $100...or $400. Your call. I am happy with my decision.

I know this is not what you were asking for, but the AVC-R is one of the last EBC I would buy. Despite it's extensive features, it's unnecessarily complicated to tune for the results. That alone would have me leaning toward an MBC.

Anyway, I am just subscribing to see if there are any results.

If my laptop was working I'd get you logs, but you could take my word for it. I had a TurboXS Manual Boost controller, and it sucked. I am so much happier with my AVC-R. If you know how to read and take your time, it's very easy to set up, and does not fluctuate with weather changes.

Turbo XS MBCs are also notoriously crappy. Just about ANY contemporary EBC that has been set up properly will outperform one, and most MBCs for that matter.
